Caring for the whole child

Caring for the whole child

More children are facing mental and emotional health challenges than ever before — from anxiety and depression to attention difficulties and stress. Kids Plus Pediatrics recognizes the importance of caring for the whole child, not just their physical health. We also recognize the many barriers that patients and families face when trying to connect to quality behavioral health treatment. That’s why we have an entire behavioral health team dedicated to helping you get the support and care you need.

How we support your child’s mental and emotional health

Basic screenings

Our providers routinely screen your child for anxiety, depression, substance use, and more — especially during adolescence.

Conversation and guidance

We create a safe space to talk about what your child is feeling and how to support them at home and in school.

Referrals to specialists

When additional support is needed, we connect families to trusted mental health professionals in your community.

On-site support

Our resource & counseling coordinators (RCCs) and behavioral health care coordinators (BHCCs) are here to help you.

Access to behavioral health experts

Many of our providers have experience managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other behavioral health concerns, as well as additional training. We also have the ability to consult with Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh TiPS program psychiatrists for support in managing medication treatments.

Behavioral health screenings are an important part of every well visit from preadolescence through the preteen and teen years. These screenings are integrated into routine check-ups at an early age to identify potential issues like anxiety, depression, and substance use as soon as possible.

A behavioral health team dedicated to you

A behavioral health team dedicated to you

We recognize the many barriers patients and families face when trying to connect to quality behavioral health treatment, so we have a whole Behavioral Health Team dedicated to helping you get the support you need, whether that’s getting connected to appropriate resources,  navigating outside services, or getting access to higher levels of care when necessary.

Meet Charlene Fox, LCSW and Kelcy Barry, LCSW: Our Resource & Counseling Coordinators (RCCs) help Kids + Families navigate the behavioral health and education systems and connect to vital resources. They provide support both in-office and over the phone, as well as offering brief, in-office interventions.

Casey Rock, RN, our Behavioral Health Care Coordinator, manages the Initial Assessment process, answers questions about psychiatric medications, and coordinates care with outside providers. 

We're Here to Help: Getting Started

The first step for any family that is interested in learning more about behavioral health screening, assessment, or treatment is to complete an Initial Assessment.  The Initial Assessment is a packet that we send to you through the Patient Portal.  When the packet is completed, we will review the information and one of our team members will contact you about next steps. 

For patients able to be managed in a primary care setting, we can provide medication, and co-management of outside mental health services or treatment.

At Kids Plus, we help you help your children get the behavioral health support and resources they need.
